Ankit Chauhan is a Software Engineer who converted to a Digital Marketer. After getting 5 years of experience as a software engineer, he faced many ups and downs and was not really satisfied because he questioned himself repeatedly that this is not the thing he was made for. Then one of his friends who was also initially a software engineer changed her profile to Digital Marketer. But at that time also, Ankit was not sure that Digital Marketing is such an interesting and adventurous field. But finally, one day he realized that he keeps on sharing news and articles on social media channels like Facebook and is doing social media marketing without knowing that it is a part of Digital Marketing. He identified that he was enjoying doing Social Media Marketing on Facebook and this inspired Ankit to choose Digital Marketing as a career.
